Answer 2

d. talked with lawmakers about issues that were important to women.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the ratification of the 19th Amendment, women in Texas began to exercise their political rights to vote and to lobby their elected officials. In 1922, a group of women formed the Joint Legislative Council in order to lobby the Texas Legislature.

However, some opponents of the group nicknamed it the "Petticoat Lobby" in order to minimize the women's petitions. Nevertheless, the women achieved significant progress, including school and labor laws, a board of education, day nurseries, children's homes and adoption agencies.
